Solco Toscana Appassite
Description
Solco Appassimento catches the eye with its intense red, enriched with precious purple shades.
The nose reveals unmistakable aromas of red fruits, among which cherry and black cherry stand out, wrapped in the gentle embrace of sweet spices. A full body wine that never loses its refined elegance. The silky tannic texture offers the palate a pleasant sensation of softness with a long and persistent finish.

Luca’s Comments = "Its difficult to improve any parameter relating to the quality of this wine. The consistence is evident, the purple colour remind the solid fruit character, the smooth and creamy expression is immediate on the palate. The perfect balance caress the mouth, soft and long the aromatic persistence. The deep inky purple colour underlines the absence of oxidative notes, the clean taste is vanished by the fine oaky notes which improves and not cover the aromatic profile. An archetypal wine, harmonious, where the purity of vanilla and mulberry notes dominate the persuasive aftertaste".
No.1 Red Blend Of Italy – Luca Maroni
Area of Production: Tuscany
Varietal: 50% Sangiovese, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Syrah
Serving temperature: 18°C
Perfect with roasts, red meats, game and cheeses.
The “leggero appassimento” (light drying) technique consists in reducing the water present in the grape. Dehydration produces an increase in the sugar content of the grape. The resulting wine exhibits exuberant hints of red
fruits and a complex and elegant tannic texture. After the harvest, the grapes undergo a soft pressing, followed by maceration at a controlled temperature. Once fermentation is complete, the wine rests in stainless steel vats before completing its maturation in the bottle.
